We also cannot forget that the Broncos have a solid defense, Peyton Manning, and an high altitude that was obviously having an effect on our defensive players.

Much props to the Texans for staying strong and winning it. That would probably have been a lead that we lost a few years ago. This is clearly a new Texans team that has a whole bunch of attitude and confidence that we are not used to seeing as Texans fans.

I have no problem with Garys strategy this game. Even though I would have run the ball all 3 times with a 13 point lead 8 mins to play.

The only bad error was on the last drive was that AJ stepped out of bounds after his 1st down catch, stopping the clock. That was what allowed Peyton to get the ball back one last time. But that's just nitpicking.

Fans have to expect Peyton to makea comeback. It's what he does. BTW, hopefully Foster is in the game next time the Texans are killing the clock. Even though Foster has had fumbling issues of his own.

That was my impression as well (along with Schaub throwing into some very tight coverage - Bailey was right on top of AJ on the drop in the endzone).

That was about as well as you can cover and about as perfect as a ball can be thrown .... I think Bailey knocked it out with his foot as he tumbled after contact.

Its hard for me to fathom how they can still want Gary run out of town after the job this staff did after Schaub went down last season .... Winning a playoff game and playing another to the final minute with a 5th round rookie 3rd string QB running the show ....

Hell , he could probably win a or two and that group will still want him gone ....

At this point, they are either questionable in their fandom as Texans fans and/or they ride the short bus.

It baffles me that someone could be anything but excited at this point in Texans history. We've waited a long time for this to come, and I'll be damned if some mouth-breather tries to steal that joy from us.

Peyton's done many teams dirty late including that insane 4th quarter vs Tampa.

No team is safe until that clock hits 00 on him.

The early lead and keep it only now works with a solid defense, which we've finally got now. Earlier criticisms of that style were warranted, but also saw signs that even with a large lead they were willing to take shots, not the kind that make me say man this team has is willing to put a foot on an opponents throat necessarily. But, enough to keep them off balance.

Re: Kubiak is who he is

Well, he coached them to kick the snot out of the Broncos and then he coached them to kick the snot out of the clock. When it came down to it, even the great Peyton Manning couldn't come up with enough plays before TIME ran out.

I call that a win. On the road. 3-0 for the first time. Relying on Foster and this D isn't exactly a brain surgeon's strategy.

I think SecondHoneymoon is the only Fire Kubiak! guy who still sports the soap.

So why create an issue, Corrosion and GlassHalfFull, when there isn't one? Have I missed the posts lately where people have a pink soap avatar? I sure haven't seen any. SH hasn't posted here in ages.

I don't get how people can invent something in the middle of a thread that doesn't even apply. LOL.

People flew the pink soap until about week 1 or 2 of last year, then it was apparent that Gary's job was safe for a verrry long time.

Nobody here is asking for his head. But he does tend to sort of become a bit conservative when he has a comfy lead. Yesterday was the first time I can recall Schaub really going downfield late in a game with a comfy lead. But previously? I don't recall those types of downfield shots like the ones to LeStar and Dre.

*AHEM* Not to mention that Pay-me-a-ton went 26-52. When was the last time you saw Peyton throw for 50%??? (Answer: Ummm probably never, ) Not to mention that 26 incompletions is the highest number of incompletions in his career, IIRC.
